| Subject: Take That ManBearPig - France Inflicts Massive Blow To Global Warming With Plastic Cutlery Ban Tue Sep 13, 2016 6:33 pm | |
| Turmoil and global conflict, at many times in history, have had a way of coalescing people around a common goal propelling nations to accomplish feats never before imaginable. As an example, World War II transformed America from a largely isolated nation into a global military and manufacturing powerhouse.
Today, Europe finds itself in the throes of a heated political debate over open border policies which have already led to Brexit and threatens the stability of the entire European Union. Faced with such adversity, French legislators, like the men and women who rushed off to war in the 1940s, have come together in a fierce display to solidarity to....wait for it....that's right, to ban disposable cutlery.
Seriously, ever wonder how these folks convince themselves that the most pressing issue facing their entire nation is plastic spoons? Perhaps the people of Calais, France are really not so worried about the 7,000 migrants living in a makeshift "jungle" in their town after all...but throwing plastic cutlery on the ground, that kind of aggression will not stand, man.
Per the AP, France recently passed the new legislation that gives producers until 2020 to ensure that all disposable dishes sold in France are made of biologically sourced materials that can be composted. The ban apparently follows a prior ban on plastic bags back in July.
